DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

With reference to FIG. 2, a decorative light assembly constructed in accordance with the present invention, generally designated with reference numeral 10, is shown. The decorative light assembly 10 of the present invention includes a frame 1 constructed in a first direction I. A plurality of light units are arranged on the frame 1 in a second direction II which is perpendicular to the first direction I of the frame.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the decorative light assembly 10, showing the light units 2 may be mounted on the frame 1 in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the frame 1 is composed of a first extended wire 11 and a second extended wire 12, constructed in a first direction I. The second extended wire 12 is parallel to the first extended wire 11, therefore forming a long and narrow gap 13 between the first extended wire 11 and the second extended wire 12. Each of the light units 2 is electrically connected by a pair of electrical wires 3 forming a decorative light string and then connected to an electric power source.

A plurality of light mounting members 4 are securely arranged in the gap 13 formed between the first extended wire 11 and the second extended wire 12. Each of the light mounting members 4 is provided with a central through hole 41.

Further, the present invention includes a number of plastic clipping rings 5. Each of the plastic clipping rings 5 is provided with a central through hole 51. The plastic clipping ring 5 is made of, for example, rubber material, and is adapted to be mounted in the central through hole 41 of the light mounting member 4. So, the light unit 2 may be mounted onto the frame 1 by means of the plastic clipping ring 5. Particularly, the light units 2 are arranged on the frame 1 in a second direction II which is perpendicular to the first direction I of the frame.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the decorative light assembly, showing the light units may be mounted on the frame in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention. For explanation, the same reference numbers used in the previous drawing will be used to refer to the same or like parts. In this embodiment, the frame 1a is in a form of extended plate 14 constructed in a first direction I. The extended plate 14 is provided with a number of through holes 15 arranged thereon.

Similar to the first embodiment of the present invention as shown in FIG. 3, a number of plastic clipping rings 5 provided with a central through hole 51 may be mounted in the through hole 15 of the extended plate 14. So, the light unit 2 may be mounted onto the frame 1a by means of the plastic clipping ring 5. Particularly, the light units 2 are arranged on the frame 1a in a second direction II which is perpendicular to the first direction I of the frame 1a.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the decorative light assembly, showing the light units may be mounted on the frame in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the frame 1c includes an extended wire 16 constructed in a first direction I.

A plurality of light units 2 electrically connected by a pair of electrical wires 3 forming a decorative light string. Each of the light units 2 is provided with a side clipper 21 to clip the light units 2 onto the frame 1b in a second direction II perpendicular to the first direction I of the frame 1b.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the decorative light assembly, showing the light units may be mounted on the frame in accordance with a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the frame 1c is composed of a first extended wire 17 and a second extended wire 18, constructed in a first direction I. The second extended wire 18 is parallel to the first extended wire 17, therefore forming a long and narrow gap 19 between the first extended wire 17 and the second extended wire 18.

Each of the light units 2 is provided with a pair of side clippers 22a and 22b to clip the light units 2 onto the extended wires 17 and 18 in a second direction II perpendicular to the first direction I of the frame 1c.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
